Ever took a job offer and immediately felt like you should’ve stayed where you were? 😅

Transparently, I feel foolish and am now working in an environment that is effecting my mental health pretty bad. I also am hesitant about looking for employment since I’ve only been here for 3 months at this point, ugh.

Take this miss-step as an opportunity for a redirection. Take detailed notes of everything you learn on the job, emphasize networking with those outside of your organization and upskill in the interim. Use them what they have to offer, collect a check, utilize some benefits, and make this pit stop in your journey equate to a promotion and a raise. It’s good to be uncomfortable sometimes; those people are colleagues not friends - get what you need and get a better opportunity. We don’t owe anyone or anything in this country anything, especially not our loyalty in our careers. Go rock it!

Thank you, you’re very kind for this. Sometimes, a step away and a reframe in thinking can do wonders.

Update: Just signed a new job offer today. Sharing in hopes this inspires someone black to get out of that sucky position and go explore other work cultures that will hopefully respect you.

6’0 and weighed in at 220lbs today. All time high and have gained 20lbs since gyms closed in March. When I did workout it was more or less 100% compound lifts. I’m now limited to a few kettlebells but am not even close to as consistent as I was. Any idea on how I can lose this excess 20lbs? I feel like it crept up over night.
